What's Brexit got to do with the 'small boats' crisis? What does racialised border violence in the Channel tell us about 'Global Britain'? And what can we learn about the UK's approach to its borders from the Hong Kong BN(O) and Ukrainian visas? We discuss all of this and more as we turn a lens onto Fortress Britain.

Elena Zambelli explains what we mean when we talk about migrants' irregularisation. We're joined by Arshad Isakjee and Thom Davies talk about their research on the racialised border violence enacted by Fortress Europe and why we need to turn our attention to how this relates to the EU's liberal values. And Nando and Michaela turn the lens back onto UK and its post-Brexit borders as they discuss the new suite of 'safe and legal (humanitarian) routes', and what these signal about the future of asylum within and beyond the UK.
